Listening to Lives
"Why do I do it? To connect with others like me, simple!"
"...."
Hao Xuan was NOT amused by that answer.
'My expectations were low but holy shit, that explains NOTHING!'
"Alright, then HOW do you connect with others like you? Where are they?"
"Where?" Liet continued to scratch his chin, "Everywhere? It's not the location that's a problem but the period they lived in."
"How do you mean? Are you trying to tell me you are able to talk to people from the past and the future??" Hao Xuan leaned forward as his interest piqued.
"No no, how could that be possible?!" Liet shook his head like a drum, "I don't talk to them, just CONNECT with them you know? Like, make a connection?"
Hao Xuan felt like he had gotten hold of a thread so he kept pulling to see where it would lead, "And what do you with this...connection?"
"I listen. To their lives, their sadness, their tears and laughs. Anything they have put out."
"Huh...so...what do you do with that?"
